Timeline

The Activity Feed module allows you to display posts from groups or contacts. The module is used, for example, on the home page of an intranet or on a group page - places where you want to collect posts from different people.

Posts

Show all (own, contacts‘ and groups’)

This option is the default setting. It shows status updates for all contacts and groups of the user. This setting is often used, for example, on the home page of an intranet.

Show timeline based on a group page/profile page

This option shows posts specific to the current page. This setting is often used when the module is added to the template for profile and group pages.

Show a single entry

Are you mentioned in a post and receive a notification? Click on the note and the post opens up in a new view. Only the selected post is shown.

Show timeline based on tag

This option is used to display posts and comments ‘tagged’ with a specific label. When a post or comment is ‘tagged’, a copy of the post is placed in an activity stream linked to the label.

Max number of posts

Set the number of posts to be displayed in the activity stream by entering a number. The default setting is 10.

Max number of comments

Set the number of comments to be displayed in the activity feed by entering a number. The default setting is 10.

Show input field for status updates

Image settings

Under image settings you can choose whether to display the images in their original size or customize the size in width and height.

• Keep original size - if you want to keep the size of the original image.
• Adjust size - Customize the size by specifying the maximum width of the image.
• Limit visible height - Check this if you want to specify the maximum height.

Target pages

Under target pages, set the tareget pages that you want the system to use.

• Use a custom profile page to display information about users - here you set what should happen if you click on the profile picture. Then you want to go to the profile page.
• Use a custom page to show the timeline for a tag - here you set what happens if a label is clicked. Then you want to be taken to a page that shows all posts with this label.
• Use a custom page to show all timeline posts - here you set what happens when you click on the date, then only that post is shown.

Base heading level

To enable you to have correct heading levels in the module, we have added an h2 as the default heading level. Here you can change this to suit your design and get the right heading level. It is possible to change everything from h1-h6 to be able to match the correct heading level in the activity flow.
